Intel Math Course

The core of the program is the Intel Math Summer Course, co-taught by an Intel-trained
mathematician and math education specialist. Intel Math is an intensive, 80-hour,
content-based course that requires full participation including take home assignments.
The course is designed for you as a learner to deepen your own understanding of the
K-8 math content and connections between concepts. The curriculum starts at addition
and builds a foundation of understanding based on the interconnectivity of the concepts.
Each of our cohorts has shown gains in mathematics content understanding. Another
huge benefit of the program for teachers is enhanced math confidence. By better understanding
the math concepts and how they connect to each other, teachers feel better prepared
to lead classroom conversations and answer student questions.

“The Intel Math Program at PIMMS was an incredible learning experience. There was
rigor, community, and an incredible amount of mathematics.” –Meriden Math Coach

More Information

“There wasn’t a wasted minute and I really got to know my own mathematical understanding.
The workload is reasonable and the homework never impacted my ‘home time’. I highly
recommend any elementary teacher take this course. It was thorough in math concepts
and it never felt like I would fail.” –Meriden Math Coach

Math Follow Up Workshops

“Words can’t express how you have impacted me as a student and as a teacher.” –Teacher
Participant

We also offer follow up workshops for the school year. Intel Math is all about the
math content and has a proven track record of increasing teacher content knowledge.
The follow up workshops are about implementation in the classroom. Follow up workshops
include topics such as Cuisenaire Rods and other Math Manipulatives, Math on the Move,
and Visual Arts in the Math Classroom. We now also have a 3-workshop series book review
of NCTM's Principles to Action.
